Facing The Giants

Facing The Giants is an absolutely amazing movie to watch. Its such a moving and motivational show that it really touches your heart. And its not the same as when you watch a movie where like someone's loved one dies from some terminal illness and you feel very emotional and whatever. I've never even come close to crying when watching any movie before coz i'm extremely macho and not overly emotional or sensitive X), but during the 2nd half and towards the end of Facing The Giants, I coulnd't help tearing. Good thing my parents didn't see me crying coz it would have been kinda awkward >.< You have to watch it to experience the kind of emotional attachment and truth in the movie. I just finished watching it and simply had to publicise it. Here's the link to the official website: http://facingthegiants.com/home.php

This is a short synopsis:
In his six years of coaching, Grant Taylor has never had a winning season. Even the hope of a new season is squelched when the best player on his Shiloh Eagles decides to transfer schools. After losing their first three games of the season, the coach discovers a group of fathers are plotting to have him fired. Combined with pressures at home, Coach Taylor has lost hope in his battle against fear and failure.

However, an unexpected challenge helps him find a purpose bigger than just victories. Daring to trust God to do the impossible, Coach Taylor and the Eagles discover how faith plays out on the field … and off.

With God, all things are possible …

For more info, check out the website or google it...

anyway here are some quotes from the movie -

"I want God to bless this team so much people will talk about what He did. But it means we gotta give Him our best in every area. And if we win, we praise Him. And if we lose, we praise Him. Either way we honor Him with our actions and our attitudes. So I'm askin' you... What are you living for? I resolve to give God everything I've got, then I'll leave the results up to Him. I want to know if you'll join me."

"With God, nothing is impossible."

I somehow have the DVD at home, so if you want (and I strongly recommend that you watch it coz its really really really good) just ask me, I can lend you for your viewing pleasure (:
